Supplements and General HealthDo you need to supplement Omega 3 fatty acids?
Omega 3, a group of polyunsaturated fat, has consistently shown excellent health outcomes in supplementation studies. The credit goes to the anti-inflammatory properties of the supplement. Considering intense resistance training has a high recovery demand, researchers tested if these properties of Omega 3 will be helpful in muscle recovery after a demanding training session. Omega 3 fatty acids are further classified into eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA). They are involved in the regulation of various biological processes like the inflammatory response and signalling metabolic pathways. Additionally, they can also be synthesized in the body in the form of alpha-linolenic acid (ALA). But the conversion is very low for most people.
